The <i>ortho</i>-nitro effect was discovered in sulfa-Staudinger cycloadditions of ethoxycarbonylsulfene with linear imines. When an <i>ortho</i>-nitro group is present at the <i>C</i>-aryl substituents of linear imines, the sulfa-Staudinger cycloadditions deliver <i>cis</i>-β-sultams in considerable amounts, together with the predominant <i>trans</i>-β-sultams. In other cases, the above sulfa-Staudinger cycloadditions give rise to <i>trans</i>-β-sultams exclusively. Further mechanistic rational ...[more]
